"Sounds good to me." Nich said, stowing his bow and arrows. "So, where are we going to sleep?" Almost immediately in response, an elf motioned for the humans to follow her to where they would be sleeping.
"You guys go on ahead. I'm going to check on Jirae." Adren said as the rest of the group followed the elf to their sleeping quarters. Silently, she followed the trail of Eithine and her swordsmen to a tent where Jirae was being treated.
"Hey! Get out of here!" One of the swordsmen exclaimed.
"Shut up, fool." Adren said, shoving her staff in his face as he walked toward her. "All of you, back up."
"Hey! I said no magic!" Eithine shouted.
"I know what I'm doing." Adren said, completely disregarding the elf. "You honestly think this is the first time he's flipped out?" Eithine made no response. Adren walked over to beside the bed Jirae was lying in. "Trasmanuos Curos Alvenuos!" Adren exclaimed as she banged the end of her staff on the ground. White light began pouring out from the crystal ball at the end of the staff, pouring out over Jirae.
"Well?" One of the swordsmen behind Adren asked.
"Quiet." Adren said without turning her head. She closed her eyes and began concentrating as the white light enveloped Jirae and gave him a faint glow. "Hmm...just as I thought. Merely overexertion from the use of the pendant." He opened her eyes and banged the staff on the ground again, causing the white glow to dissapear. She turned to Eithine. "He just needs some rest. You'd be wise not to feed him any more of those herbs." She nodded her head in the direction of a basket of herbs on the ground. "The magic of the seal is very sensitive. Certain herbs cause it to rupture, and enough of them could completely break it." With a stern look on her face, she walked out of the tent, headed out to find the rest of the humans and their sleeping tents.

OOC: I think I might start a story in the Other Writing forum about the events that happened 3 years ago, including how Jirae came across the pendant...what do you think?
 
OOC:That'd be interesting. Although, I find that not many people review at first. So far NOBODY hath reviewed my story. -.-

IC: Regina looked past herself as the White Mage passed her as she walked into the medical tent but quickly looked to Eithine "Do you have anything for my voice?"

Eithine, who looked extremely peeved and pissed, said "Oh yeah, definetly." She said moodily, as the swordsmen edged out of the tent anxiously "Here's some Leirine Leaves. Steam them, and drink the water after you sift out the rinds. You might want to do that in there, where they're cooking the warrior's their dinner." She motioned toward the flap leading to a different part of the tents, behind which Regina saw four elves working on a vast dinner, having regained their once drained energy.

She silently presented the Leirin leaves and notioned to her throat, as an elderly, yet bulky elvish man nodded, just as quietly and placed them into a boiling kettle "I'll have some as well if you don't mind." He said hoarsely, his voice just as died out as Regina's.

She nodded and left the makeshift kitchen, ducking under the flap as Eithine bustled around to meet the elves who were tortured by the elemental's wounds.

Regina found Eithine at a place where she'd managed to stop for a few moments, and when she asked for the human boy, Eithine, merely waved toward the back of the tent, before rushing off again. Regina glanced toward the back of the tent, which seemed to be the only part that was lit by bright elvish lanturns, which burned brightly, lighting up the entire tent like it was day.

Regina walked over, careful to be light on her feet, so she wouldn't wake a nearby sleeping elf, who's long and extremely sharp ears looked as though they heard every slight movement. After passing the elf, she lifted another flap and saw the human boy resting peacefully. Normally, she would've flushed, having walked in on someone sleeping, but instead she sighed and shook her head.

"You cause a lot of havoc. And none of us even know your name." Regina whispered, her voice no longer being able to speak any louder, the rasping was prominent, and she folded the skirt of her icy blue dress, underneath her as she sat on the benches next to the human's bed. Her dress was no longer as beautiful as it had been when the adventure began. The bottom was brownish from falling so much, and the rim of the skirt was torn and frayed, the vines had seen to that.

"I guess you are sorta like a bad luck charm huh?" Regina asked smiling kindly. She was never really one to hold a grudge. How could she? "And now I feel like an idiot! I'm talking to someone who's not even awake!" She laughed to herself and said "But it's nice having another person who's the same species around...even if they're kind of...arrogant."

She slowly eyed the pendant around his neck and whispered "Boy I could probably fill an entire book with theories on how I'm gonna get that thing off huh?" But after the day's events, she wasn't going to think on it just yet. Maybe...later. Some other time, if she saw him again after they'd rescued Eos. She remembered when she'd first met Eos. He was tall and had long brown hair, silky like any elf's. His robes were deep emerald green, and at first she'd thought he was an elder, until she saw him conversing with Ryxam, like an old friend...a VERY old friend.

Ryxam was already about 1,059 years old. He was very wise, but was never one to sit around councils. He was usually Sike and Regina's babysitter, considering they had the habit of tagging along with him on his conquests and battles. Sike used to play all kinds of pranks on their old and stuffy gaurdian, and Ryxam always managed to avoid them, his keen red eyes seemed to see everything.

"You know you're even more of a trouble maker then Sike is." Regina mumbled.

"Been a long day." Nich said as he jumped into his bed.
"I'll say." Piras responded, splashing some water from a nearby spring in his face. If there was one thing humans were good at, it was being prepared. Buckets of springwater lined the walls, and a bag of snacks from the school cafeteria rested in the corner.
"Hello." Adren said as she walked in to the tent. "Not much room in here...where are the rest of my friends?"
"Tent across the walkway." Shina said, pointing her lance to another tent.
"Alright. See you in the morning." Adren said, closing the tent flap.

"So, then we need to..." One of Adren's friends began to say until he noticed Adren walking into the tent. "Oh, hi."
"Hey." Adren said, dropping her bag on the ground and walking over to an unoccupied bed. "Where are the others?" Only two of her friends, the two males, were in the tent.
"Ah, they went to the spring on the other side of the camp." One of the boys said. "You know where it is?"
"Yeah." Adren said. "I'll be back later, I guess." With that, she left the tent to go find her friends at the spring.
"Alright, so, like I was saying..." The boy began again, once he was sure Adren was gone.

Ekim sat alone. He was in a white room, with no apparent doors or windows. The only thing in there besides himself was a small TV-like screen, an oddly advanced technology for this era.
"Master Ekim." Came a voice as the screen turned on. A picture of a male Drow appeared on screen, bowing.
"What is it, Ienitan?" Ekim asked, folding his hands and resting his head on them.
"Did the elemental attack go well?" Ienitan asked.
"What do you think? I'm back in this lousy prison, aren't I?" Ekim replied.
"Oh...right. Sorry." Ienitan said. "So...when do we plan to strike next?"
"Well, we can't until that stupid seal is removed." Ekim responded.
"Seal?" Ienitan questioned.
"The white mage friend of his...she put an elemental seal on the pendant." Ekim answered. "We need to break the seal if I want to get out again."
"It shall be done." Ienitan said, bowing, as the picture on the screen turned off.
"Wait, I-" Ekim began, fruitlessly. "Agh. There he goes again, not bothering to listen." He let out a sigh of frustration.

OOC: Hah, cliffhanger-type thing on the male friends of Adren =P.
 
OOC: I dunno what you expect me to do with that. 0_0;; Any ideas?

Click to expand...

OOC: Well, I didn't really know what to do so I just did some stuff regarding my characters themselves...you could do the same, like what I did about the characters going to sleep, or something...because there's really nothing left until the next day...I would suggest you could probably start off the next day and the quest to look for Eos in your next post. Yeah, that's probably best...
 
OOC: Ki'dokie

IC: Ryxam pushed the flaps of the medical tent away so roughly they flew in opposite directions, whacking into the elves who were unfortunate enough to be sitting next to the entrance "Sorry about that." Ryxam said as he quickly entered the kitchen "Is dinner ready?" He asked.

"Yes sir, all we need to do is set the table." A girl no older then 200 years said, curtsying in her bustle to the other side of the tent.

"Screw it, my men can eat around the fire it's not hard." Ryxam said brushing out of the tent "Regina!" He called into the depths of the tent "Get out of there. The human's not worth sympathizing for! Dinner." He barked to the elves littered around the tent.

Regina looked at the flaps and glanced back at the boy "Hey," She shook his shoulder lightly "Want something to eat?"


Beren sat beside Ryxam, one of the many nearest the large fire in the middle of the camp. His vegetable stew was a rich color with potatoes and celery and all that 'rabbit food' as many called it. But it was a thick stew, and the best part was dunking the savory elvish bread into the stew and, in Beren's case, jamming it into your mouth.

He didn't understand why Ryxam had to eat so daintily. Like a woman he was! Sipping his stew without sound, and ripping off the bread before tranferring it into his mouth. It wasn't as though anybody here really cared. Ellandra sat on the opposite side of Ryxam, and she ate just as womanly as he did, although, she had good reason! She WAS a woman!! He glanced over at the young lad, Sike was his name, and saw that he had barely touched his portion of food.

"Boy, don't brood over Regina. She's a tough girl she's fine." Beren said shoving bread into his mouth. He was certainly the least mannerly of the elves around the fire, as most of them ate cleanly and quietly.

"I'm not," Sike replied "I'm just hoping that guy isn't like, attacking her or something."

"Nah, I doubt it." Beren said through a mouthful of bread "He may seem like a big ol' jerk, but I can see it like any elf can, he's a good person, as much as it's hard to see, the stuck up, arrogant, selfish-"

"That's enough Beren." Ryxam said calmly "We all know he wouldn't have done what he did was he not under the influence of Dark Elf artifacts. I find he was foolish to even put on something as ugly as the pendant is, but perhaps he found it...what's the word those humans use? 'Cool'?" He said sipping his stew "Perhaps you should go see if the other humans would like a meal after the happenings of today."

Sike took it that Ryxam was talking to him and said "Oh, okay." He stood up from his spot on the ground, and crossed the now darkened camp to the human's tent. This was the one with the Valkyrie in it...or that's what he guessed.

"Hey, would you like something to eat?" Sike shouted into the tent flaps. He would've knocked, but there wasn't much to knock on...

OOC: I'll do the next day in my next post.
 
OOC: Bit of character control here.

"Eh?" Piras said, looking up at the elf who had opened the tent. "Oh, dinner...yeah, I'm starving." Without hesitation, Piras got up from the bed he was sitting on and rushed out of the tent. "So..where's the food?" Piras had been the only one in the tent, Shina and Nich were gone somewhere.
"Where are the others?" Sike asked.
"Eh, the springs, I think. Don't really care." Piras responded.

"Anybody there?" Adren asked as she walked around some rocks to the elven springs. Conveniently labeled, there were both hotsprings for swimming, and enchanted springs for fresh drinking water.
"Hey! Adren!" One of Adren's friends shouted from a nearby spring, waving her hand. Noticing the signal, Adren promptly walked over. The girls, all being french, began talking in french as they always did when they talked amongst themselves.

"I don't trust them." Nich said as he eyed the girls talking from behind a rock a good distance away.
"Why?" Shina asked, as she was slouched down beside him, also looking.
"Why do they always talk french? Something they don't want us to know, I bet." Nich answered.
"You're paranoid." Shina said, rolling her eyes. "It's their native language. Why wouldn't they speak it? It's not like any of them don't understand it."
"Hmph." Nick responded. "I don't know, but I can tell they're up to no good." He stood up and began walking away.
"Where are you going?" Shina asked, getting up and following him, floating slowly behind him.
"I'm hungry." Nich replied.
"Yeah, I guess I am too. Let's go." Shina said, flying in front of him.

"They're gone." Adren said in english. She had seen Nich and Shina spying on them, even from a few springs away.
"About time." One of her friends said. "I still think the boy knows french."
"Nah, I don't think so." Said another friend. "Piras does, though. He spoke with us a few times in biology class."
"Hmm." One of the other friends said. "Ah well, he couldn't have heard us anyways. Come on, let's go get dinner."
"Yeah..." Adren said, something obviously on her mind, as they all got up and headed out of the hotsprings.

"Ah, I see everyone made it." Piras said as Adren and her friends wandered to the campfire. Nich and Shina had gotten there a few minutes ago, as had the two male friends of Adren.
"Yeah." Adren said as they sat down. She glanced at Nich, who was giving her a cold stare, but immediately looked away when he saw she was looking at him.
"This stew is delicious." Shina said. She and all the male humans ate in a manner similiar to Beren's, whereas Adren and her female friends ate in a polite manner, like Ryxam.
"Yes, it is." Adren added, wiping her mouth with a napkin. "Thank you." Finished with her meal, she got up and headed for her tent. Almost immediately afterward, her friends followed.
"Well, I'm finished." Piras said, a few minutes later. Even though he had arrived at the table first, he had finished last, due to wanting multiple servings. Fairly soon, Shina and Nich finished as well, and retired to their tent. The day was done, and tomorrow they would continue looking for Eos.

OOC: Hmm...for some reason I feel that we should try and get more people to join this, or remind the others that it still exists, or something...
 
OOC: Bunnying

The sun rose bright and early, along with Ryxam, though, you couldn't really count the 'bright' part to be apart of Ryxam's daily routine. It was the most prominent thing that was missing and it showed as he walked around the camp, blowing a shrill note against the wood made flute that was pressed against his lower lip, one of the rare instances of which he removed his mask.

"Gaaaaah..." Sike mumbled as he rolled over in his sleep, hair mused and bed sheets torn all over the place.

"Meeerrrgh." Beren replied rolling over as well, though he was less fortunate as a 'THUMP' was heard. He'd definetly woken up on the wrong side of the bed that day. For he'd woken up on the floor, a rude awakening the colliding of head to dirt it was. These beds were almost like stowaways, and only for the highest ranking of the band. Or the most important in Ryxam's eyes. They were made of wood, and rose about one foot high in the air.

"Alrighty sleepyheads wake up wake up wake up!" Ellandra shouted into the men's tent as many of more lazy one's groaned and refused to get up.

Regina was neatly tucking her blanket underneath the makeshift bed and pulled a brush through her long blue hair. It would take a long time to brush it out to the sheen it usually had, but she wasted no time with that. Eos was to be rescued!

Sike slung his bow over his shoulder as he left his hair untamed, Beren doing the same, though his shoulder long jet black hair was much more rumpled, with a large cow lick on the right side.

Ryxam, who always kept his hair as short as Sike's had his hair tidy, though in the sort of muse it was always in. He sheathed his katars, and replaced his mask upon his face "Alright men, mount your horses." He said boredly, as though keep safe and rescue was a regular job he had to do.

"Is your friend awake?" Regina asked the humans whom had left their tent "Do you think it will be wise to take him into Drow Territory? His pendant may react to being where it was created." She pulled the bit into the white horse's mouth, for Ellandra to mount.
 
OOC: What's bunnying mean?
Btw, there will be a bit of character control in this post. Near the end.

"As long as the seal is on him," Adren replied, "It should be fine. The fact that it's a green seal is even better, as Drow have extra trouble dealing with elf oriented magic." She heard an elf let out a 'woohoo' in the background, and added "The vice versa is also true." That shut him up.
"Ah well. I'll see if Jirae is awake." Shina said, flying from the group toward Jirae's tent. None of the male humans had woken up yet, so only Shina, Adren, and Adren's friends were awake.

"Yaaaaawwnnn." Piras yawned, stretching his arms as he woke up.
"Could you be any louder?" Nich asked, scratching his head. "Where's Shina?"
"Must have already woken up." Piras answered. Suddenly, he saw the tent flap beginning to open. "Who's there?" He asked, grabbing his bow from nearby his bed.
"Just us." A french accented voice came. The two male friends of Adren walked in.
"What do you want." Nich questioned flatly, immediately grabbing his bow. He could tell that something was wrong.
"Oh, nothing much." One of the boys responded, reaching his arm to the sheath on his waist.
"Drop your weapons." Nich said, shooting at the sheath, causing the boy to recoil his hand.
"Clever one." The other boy said. In a matter of seconds, his sword was out and ready to strike. "Now, I suggest you drop your weapons."
"I told you they were up to no good." Nich said, gripping his bow with one hand and grabbing an arrow with his other.
"I said, drop them." The boy repeated, poising his sword to attack. Nich slowly raised his bow and aimed at the top of the tent.
"What on earth is he doing?" The first boy asked, confused.
"Flame Arrow!" Nich exclaimed. By magic, the arrow tip lit aflame, and he shot it at the top of the tent. Almost immediately, the tent began to burn, and smoke rose atop the camp.

"Uh...are you guys cooking anything?" Adren asked an elf.
"No, why?" The elf replied. Adren pointed to smoke rising up from a tent.
"That's not good." The elf said. Moments later, he began screaming. "A tent is on fire! A tent is on fire!"
"I'd say that they decided to follow the plan, for once." One of Adren's friends said, walking up behind Adren.
"Yeah. We better go check it out, in case the valkyrie saw the smoke." Adren suggested. With that, they headed in the direction of the tent.

"You awake?" Shina asked, nudging Jirae's shoulder.
"Eh." Jirae replied. "More or less." His eyes slowly opened as he began to sit up in his bed. "You smell something?" Shina sniffed the air.
"Smoke? Something's wrong." She said, getting up and looking outside the tent. "What's going on?" She asked an elf passing by.
"From what I heard, theres a fight going on between some of the humans!" The elf replied as he ran by.
"Crap...Nich was right." Shina said, biting her thumb.
"Huh?" Jirae asked. He was awake enough, and got out of bed, ready to go.
"Come on." Shina said, flying outside, Jirae following.

"You've got nowhere left to run." One of the boys said, his sword to Nich's throat as they backed Nich and Piras into a corner of the burning tent.
"You always were annoying." The other one said, his sword to Piras's throat.
"Hey!" A voice came from the front of the burning tent.
"Who's there?" The boy with his sword to Nich's throat asked.
"It's us." Adren said as the girls walkedin, all of them but Adren smirking. Adren had a stern look on her face, staff in hand.
"Kill them." One of the girls said.
"Hold it!" Shina exclaimed. She rushed into the room at put her lance to Adren's throat. "Kill them, and I kill her." The french people looked at each other.
"Hahahaha." One of the girls laughed. "Go ahead."
"What?!" Adren exclaimed. "What do you mean?"
"You helped the boy with the pendant." One of the girls answered. "Multiple times."
"You can't be trusted." Another added.
"No, you don't understand..." Adren began. "I..."
"Don't worry about it." Shina said, removing her lance from Adren's throat. "You're not who we're worried about."
"R-right." Adren said, grabbing her staff.
"What do you think you're doing?" One of the boys asked. "We've still got your friends..." He turned around. Piras and Nich weren't there.
"Always keep your guard up." Nich said. His arrow was now aimed at the boy's throat, as was Piras's at the other boy's.
"Mass Light!" Adren exclaimed, thrusting her staff into the air. Beams of light shot down from the open sky, striking her 'friends', as well as the burning tent. The light magnified the power of the flame, and the rest of the tent was instantly incinerated. Luckily, the ground below was free of grass, and nothing else caught fire.
"Argh..." One of the girls muttered, grabbing her stomach.
"Die." Nich said, as he and Piras shot their arrows, which hit the boys directly in the heart.
"I agree." Shina said, slicing at one of the girls with her lance.
"Yeah...whatever." Jirae said. Still half asleep, he flinged a fireball at one of the girls.
"What's going on?" Regina asked as the group of her and the elves arrived at the tent.
"Oh...nothing." Shina said, rubbing the back of her head. The two french boys lie dead on the ground, blood spurting from their wounds, and the girls lie near them, all types of burn marks covering their dead bodies.
"So...let's get ready to go, shall we?" Adren suggested. Nich, Piras, Adren, Shina, and Jirae walked out of the shell of a tent, acting as if nothing had happened.
---
OOC: Wow...that was like...crazy. This is what happens when I try and do a RP post and watch TV at the same time. It takes me forever, it's really long, and the plot of it is like holy crap.
Side notes, didn't know whether to use Flinged, or Flung, or what...
And I don't *Think* the image of the dead french people was too violent, especially after the original Ekim eating people scene...
 
Regina rested her chin in her palm as she examined the scene "Oh, well, as long as you don't hurt anybody...nearby..." She sweatdropped, as dead was just about as hurt as you could get...physically...almost...

"Let's go then!" Regina said perking up again, as she hadn't really ever noticed those people "Eos is waiting!"

"Yes, indeed, let us go, and you stay." Beren said placing a large scarred hand upon Regina's head "You're much to little to go out there lassie, you're not one to be on the battlefield. It'll be a mass slaughter I'm tellin' ya', Drow and Elves weak against each other yah know." He talked in his heavy Dwarfish accent, having been stuck in a Dwarf mine for ages on end, before Ryxam managed to convince Elladra to come rescue him.

"But-, I caused all this I should at least-"

"And you'll only cause more trouble once you manage to get yourself hung in 'the damsel in distress' mode." Ryxam said bluntly snapping his fingers twice as two dead silent elves poured the night cold water upon the black mage to wake him up "And since you've got black magic that doesn't rely on any element, generally, you'll be much help."

"And that's how you repay your soldiers, dumping ice cold water on their heads?" Sike said sarcastically as he ran a dry cloth through his hair, which was damp just as well.

"I'd say it's pretty effective." Regina said handing the boy a cloth, much like the one Sike was using, one that was bone dried in the unforgiving sun of the driest part of the plains "And I'm going with you! Whether you like it or not! I'll stick in the back and sing." She said holding up a canteen of the Leirin leaf water "It'll hold up for quite awhile."

"Use a melody that will lower their speed, accuracy, and defense if you can find one that covers all those. Their attack power is useless if they're as slow as a dwarf and as inaccurate as a gnome. Their defense will be equal to ours after you decrease it as well." Ryxam said taking a swooping glower around all the elves congregated around the burnt tent, all wearing as good of protection as the toughest Angorian hide, but still not very high for defense nonetheless.

"You got it!" Regina said mock saluting "I'll find one! ...soon enough..."

"Better find it fast, because I think they're gonna strike soon!" Sike said fingering the arrow resting on his bow as shadows moved behind the bushes, right on the edge where it became pitch dark "By the looks of it, I think they're gonna be happy for some elf blood." He gave an unreadable glance at the human boy and said "What's your name human? There'll be too many humans to just say 'human'."
 
"Is it important?" Jirae asked. "I'll be blunt, I don't trust you elves. Telling you my name could be the last mistake I ever make."
"Stop being an idiot." Shina said, smacking him upside the head with her open palm. "I don't know if you picked the rest of our names up, but I'm Shina."
"Nich." Nich added. After a few seconds pause, he kicked Piras in the shin.
"Ouch!" Piras exclaimed. "What was that-oh, right. I'm Piras."
"I am Adren." Adren said.
"And the idiot who's been causing you all your trouble is Jirae." Shina finished, causing Jirae to shoot her a sharp look.
"Hmph." Jirae muttered. "Let's get going then, shall we?"
"Alright, but precautions need to be taken." Adren said. "You are to stay in the middle of the group. We can't risk you or the pendant falling into Drow hands."
"Then why am I even going?" Jirae asked.
"Because," Shina said, "You know as well as we do that you could kill the entire community of Drow if you felt like it."
"Hardly." Jirae replied. "Not with this thing around my neck. I'd be surprised if I'm even able to scratch them."
"Yet another reason why you should just take it off." Nich said, rolling his eyes. The band of humans and elves entered the forest, alert for any Drow that might attack them.
 
Sike snorted "Very well then. If you haven't figured it out yet," He leaned toward Regina and muttered, "Which I doubt he has," Before he resumed speaking normally, or, in the whisper he used in Drow territory, "I'm Sike, and that's Sikes to you, this is Regina, Ryxam, Beren, Ellandra, and Eithine."

Regina knew Sike didn't quite care whether the human heard what he'd said to her or not, but it made her feel strange, as Sike was acting very defensive.

"Regina." Ryxam hissed turning to her "You will stay at camp, and you will send a letter to the elders. Use Ai. Not Aoi. Aoi makes too much noise, and it will attract the Drow."

"But-"

"No. Buts." Ryxam said with a blood red eye shooting a dagger-like glare, and Regina sighed, before turning back to the fringe of the forest edge "You may return, but only after you have sent the letter telling of our actions. Watch out for Drow as well. Sing as you move."

Regina nodded quickly, before beginning to sing nervously. Her voice quavered as she wrote the letter, walking along the forest's path, beaten with iron shoes.

But she stopped at the forest edge to whistle, before seeing a fleck in the morning sky.

Ai, a much calmer, quieter, and nicer eagle landed neatly on a low hanging branch beside Regina, and she tied the letter onto the eagle's foot quickly, before it flew off without a sound. The Drow who'd been harboring at the edge of the forest had apparently left to follow the band of human's and elves. When Regina couldn't see Ai anymore, she sighed, but was surprised to have a cold clammy hand clamp over her mouth, and pull her away into the shadows.

At the same moment Sike stopped. A lone arrow had fallen at Ryxam's toes, just millimeters from his iron toed shoes, like a dare to take a step further. Ryxam disregarded the arrow, knowing they needed to go further into the darkening forest in order to collect Eos.
 
"They knew we were coming." Piras said flatly.
"Does that actually surprise you?" Nich asked. "You really are dense."
"Hey!" Piras shouted.
"Quiet, both of you." Shina said, thrusting her lance in front of the two who were walking without looking.
"What?" Piras asked loudly.
"Shh!" Shina exclaimed. "Listen." Rustling could be heard in the trees above.
"An ambush?" Nich asked, aiming his bow at a nearby tree that he had heard noises coming from. He shot an arrow, and a small black squirrel-like creature fell from the tree, dead.
"Yep." Jirae replied. "But not by Drow." Suddenly, hundreds of small heads began popping out of nearby trees.
"Cheep cheep chippidy!" One of the squirrel creatures, who was wearing some kind of warchief headdress, shouted.
"Fun." Jirae said, as the small creatures began to lunge out at the group, bearing huge fangs and claws.
 
"Oh. My. Camthalion." Ryxam said sweatdropping at the squirrel's flung themselves at the group.

"ALRIGHT!" Beren roared "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU DROW ARE, MOCKING OUR ABILITIES?!"

"Calm down idiot." Ellandra said slashing her sword through a squirrel "Jirae, could you use a spell to get rid of these-" She shrieked as a squirrel landed square on her head and tore at her hair "STUPID CHIPMUNKS!!!"

"Mmmffflgergh!!" Regina shouted, her face tightly clasped by a smooth hand as she was dragged through the darkest part of the forest. The hand held her mouth so tightly she couldn't even open it to bite it, and the elongated fingers were like vice's.

"Alrighty then." A calm and chilling voice said binding Regina's mouth with some sticky green stuff that she guess with tree vines covered in some Drow plant.

It tasted horrible against her tounge. They bound her hands together behind her as they did to her feet, not that she could've done much without her voice anyway.

"What took you so long?" A drawling voice asked.

"Well, there is the issue that she was singing in Elvish when I found her." The man said cupping a pointed ear with his elongated fingers.

Regina threw a fit. She would NOT stand to be tied up like some damsel in distress while Sike and Ryxam were fighting now not only to save Eos, but herself! Then it caught her eye. Next to a large stone that looked incredibly like the material Jirae's pendant was made out of, was Eos, feet and hands bound beneath his cloak, and eyes boredly surveying the scene. He had a knack for being calm in all situations. His mouth was not bound, as nobody in the Drow forest who heard him would really quite care, and Eos, could not sing. But Regina wondered why he didn't speak in Elvish. That would hurt the Drow as well.

"This girl never shuts up does she?" A nearby Drow asked annoyed.

"That prisoner's certainly better then her." Another commented, and it hit Regina that he was dead silent to avoid being slaughtered. And so she quieted down as well, and Eos stopped surveying his surroundings.
 
OOC: Bit of character control.

"I'll take a crack at it." Jirae said, flinging a squirrel off his arm. "But, I'll have to get them clear of everyone first." He began focusing, waving his hand around as his pendant began to glow. "Massinei Contros Bestios!" he shouted, thrusting his palms forward. A daze struck all of the squirrels in the area, and they all gathered up in a circle, away from any Elves or Humans.
"If you can control them, can't we just use them as allies?" Piras asked.
"With this many targets, his spell can only last a minute, if even that." Adren explained. "And since these are dark element creatures..." She grabbed her staff with both hands and banged it against the ground. "Holy!" She yelled. A bright flash of light came from her wand, striking all the possessed squirrels, killing them on impact. When the light died down, Jirae waved his arms again, dispelling the control spell that was now affecting nothing.
"Now then." Jirae said, wiping his hands against eachother as if he had actually been fighting with them, "Let's find your friend, hmm?"
"Hey, where'd Regina go?" Shina asked, observing that the girl was gone.
"Not her too!" Ryxam exclaimed.
"Fun. So now we have two prisoners to save." Jirae said, automatically assuming that the Drow had taken her.
 
OOC: 'Not her too'??? 0_0 You're good at making serious people look like moron's.

IC: Regina could feel herself falling asleep as the Drow talked in a low murmur around her. It was, A. Boring. B.Boring. and C. A complete waste of time.

Eos sat silently across from her, not even bothering to say 'hello' or ask how she'd gotten here. It made her feel stupid, as she was dying to know how and when he was captured by the Drow. But she supposed, with the random drow taking glances at them every now and then, it would be stupid to talk. She suspected that Eos was just worn out, being around Drow and their magic for so long.

Regina opened her mouth to say something but Eos grunted "No. Elven voices remember?" Then it hit her. Elfish voices effected Drow. Drow voices effected elves, which was why Eos looked so exhausted. But Regina's voice wasn't an elf's. She was awfully confused, but she kept quiet from then on.

"D*mn." Ryxam spat "I told her-Sike, when we find Eos, you'll go with the humans and get them out. Eos is probably on the edge of insanity, being around these freaks for so long. You'll make sure you get Eos and Regina OUT of range of the Brandite, do I make myself clear?"

He didn't mean what he'd said about Eos. An elf never went insane unless they stuck around Drow for a few years. He knew Eos remembered when being around Drow didn't effect anyone. He was indeed, so old, that gray hair was shining from his long brown hair, showing his incredible age. It was a miracle he was not an elder, and that he was still fighting for someone probably three times younger then himself, if not more.

"Yes sir." Sike said hooking an arrow into the nook of his bow "If she'd just sing, we'd be able to find her no problem."

"That'd be foolish. She's probably guarded by Drow, and that'll be smart, sing in elvish in front of them!" Ellandra said rolling her eyes, earning a glare from Sike as they moved along the quiet Brandite Forest Trees.

"They're silent." Beren said in an unnerved voice "Why-"

"They're dead." Ryxam snapped and Ellandra squeaked.

"Don't say that aloud!" She hissed scoldingly.

Ryxam simply rolled his blood red eye and pulled on a blade that rested on the top of his arm, strapped to the arm itself "Get ready."

"Can you feel them? I would ask them, but they're-"

"Quiet Beren." Ryxam replied pulling aside a thick bush and recieving an arrow to richochet off his arm blades ".....Bad aim."

Sike nearly laughed, but picked up the arrow "Poison in the tip....traditional Drow style....with a hint of Orc in it if you ask me."

"Oh it's a twig with a blade on the front and pretty feathers in the back." Beren rolled his eyes, taking the arrow from Sike and snapping it in half "And now it's two twigs!"

Ellandra knocked Beren on the back of the head with the bottom handle of her sword, before an arrow soared underneath her raised arm.

"What are we waiting for?" An elf asked.

"For the Drow to show themselves. It'll be smart to attack something we can't see hmm Orin?" Ryxam said sarcastically.
 
OOC: Sorry about that. >_<
---
"They won't show themselves unless provoked." Shina told Ryxam. "Which means, of course, that we're going to provoke them."
"Not necessary." Adren said, cutting Shina off. She raised her staff. "Light!" She exclaimed. A bright flash of light expelled from the tip of the staff, illuminating the area of the dark forest. Several Drow archers were in the trees, and some thieves were nearby on the ground.
"Uh-oh." One of the thieves said, backing about a foot away. Suddenly, Nich shot an arrow, hitting the thief directly in the foot that had stepped back. Blood began to gush out from the Drow's sandal-like shoes.
"I don't suppose any of you would happen to know where our friends are?" Shina asked, taking her lance out of its hilt.
"If you mean the other elf," One of the archers hissed, "He's probably being killed as we speak."
"What about the elf-human?" Jirae asked, referring to Regina by a title he was sure would be most appropriate around the Drow.
"What elf-human?" The archer replied. "There was only an elf when we left camp."
"Well, she wasn't taken that long ago, then." Piras concluded.
"We already knew that." Nich said, making Piras sound like an idiot. "She was with us at the beginning of the fight with the squirrels."
"Regardless." Jirae said, interrupting Nich. "She's probably at the same camp as the elf. Where is your camp, Drow?" He asked.
"Why should we tell you?" A different archer replied.
"We'll kill you if you don't." Piras said.
"So?" The second archer asked. "Either way, you won't get your information."
"We have our ways." Adren said, pulling some herbs out of her robes' pocket.
"Those...those are extremely powerful herbs! They can be mixed into a truth-telling syrum!" One of the thieves blurted out. "Run!"
"Not so fast." Jirae said, waving his arm. Blasts of fire shot from his palm, striking down the Drow that were beginning to retreat. None of them were dead, but they were weakened enough from the shock of the attack that they wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon.
"Ellandra." Adren said, handing her the herbs. "You should be able to make the truth syrum out of these, correct?"
---
OOC: Ellandra was the white mage or naturalist or whatever, right? That's who I meant...
 
OOC: It's Eithine, but I can work my way through it.

IC: Ellandra laughed "Naw, I'm as stupid as this thief here," She knocked on the trapped Drow's head "But, Eithine should be able to do it no sweat."

Eithine sighed and plucked the herb out of Ellandra's hands and placing them into a simple wooden bowl "Alright then," She withdrew a crystal bottle, filled to the brim with a white looking water "Add some holy water, and hold the fumes underneath..." Eithine let the smoke that emitted from adding the holy water waft into the trapped theif's nose.

He gurgled some incessant things for about half a minute before he became in a sort of drowzy trance like state.

"Where is Eos?" Beren said loudly, and clearly.

The Drow mumbled something, and Beren snapped "Speak up!"

"In the middle of the forest. Next to the cursed stone." He said, ever so slightly loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Cursed stone. No wonder we haven't heard anything from Eos. He's being sapped of his life power." Ellandra breathed and Ryxam moved forward. No more arrow's fell, with all the archers burnt to a crisp, and he now moved silently, and swiftly, as though he was about to assassinate a certain someone for getting kidnapped.


"They've defeated our thieves and archers with a spell, that could only have been cast by a human." Someone said to the man who'd grabbed Regina "They must have an alliance for this moment."

"Wonderful." The drow snarled "get out there!" He barked to some loafing Drow swordsmen "Come back with their heads or don't come back at all!"

Regina's eyes snapped open again, and she felt herself truly falling asleep, no matter how uncomfortable the position she was in, was. The rhythmic beats of the rock the Drow stood before was like a lullaby, and when she saw nothing but darkness, she was jerked awake by a sharp kick from Eos, who stared at her as though to tell her to stay awake.

It was easy enough to do, but the stone was almost willing her to sleep, but each time, Eos gave her a firm jab with his foot, and refused to let her to peace.

"Let's go then." Ryxam said to the band of warriors and archers, and the humans "Eos is probably half dead by now."
 
"Yeah." Shina said. "So where exactly is this cursed stone?"
"I know where it is." Adren said. "I ventured there once while you guys were gone."
"Lead the way, then." Nich said. "It's probably best if the elves guard our backs. That way, by the time the Drow figure out we have elves with us, we'll already be killing them."
"Good plan." Jirae said. "Let's go." The group continued farther into the forest, toward the cursed stone where Eos and Regina were being kept. After a little bit of walking, they heard some rustling in the bushes.
"Show yourselves!" Shina exclaimed, pointing her lance at the bush.
"Smart humans." A Drow said, as several swordsmen walked out from the bushes. "But not smart enough." Drow began to walk out from the bushes and pop out from the trees all around the group, even the back. It was an ambush.
"Could have guessed this was going to happen." Jirae sighed, as the Drow advanced forward toward the group.
